"Due to the high 'nugget effect' at Lamaque, in which there is a high variance in grade within the mineralized zone, the low grade intersections also provide crucial information on potential areas of mineralization," commented Company Senior VP of Exploration, Herve Thiboutot. "As an example, two drill intersections through the same zone, only a few feet from each other, could potentially run 1 g/t Au and 50 g/t Au respectively. The Company's exploration strategy is to first identify these areas of mineralization, regardless of grade, and secondly follow up with focused drilling to obtain sufficient data to be representative of the average grade. The low grade zones identified within the No. 5 Plug therefore remain high priority targets in ongoing exploration."

Exploration History at No. 5 Plug

The No. 5 Plug is unique in that although little surface exploration was done in the past, there are three underground drifts, at varying levels down to 1,000 meters vertical, all of which encountered gold mineralization. The underground workings connect the No. 5 Plug with the past producing Sigma and Lamaque Mines, which have collectively produced over 9 million ounces of grade gold.

At the lowest level, significant mineralization, known as the No. 35 Vein, was discovered outside the granodiorite intrusive "plug". This demonstrates that gold mineralization, although concentrated within these intrusive bodies, is not necessarily limited to only occurring within them, opening up the potential of the surrounding rock.

There is currently no resource estimate for the No. 5 Plug. Current drilling represents the first significant, coordinated exploration program at the No. 5 Plug since 1988. Historic drill results from that period were presented in a previous press release dated October 24, 2012.

Qualified Person

The Lamaque exploration project is under the direct supervision of Herve Thiboutot, P.Eng. and Vice-President of the company, a Qualified Person ("QP") as defined by National Instrument 43-101, Alain-Jean Beauregard, P.Geo., and Daniel Gaudreault, P.Eng., Geo. of Geologica Inc., both independent QP as defined by National Instrument 43-101. The Company's QP has reviewed the technical content of this release.

Project and Company Profile:

Integra's Lamaque Gold Project is located in the heart of the Val d'Or gold camp in the Province of Quebec, Canada, approximately 550 km northwest of Montreal. Quebec is rated one of the best mining jurisdictions in the world. Infrastructure, human resources and mining expertise are readily accessible.

The Company's focus is to evaluate and enhance gold bearing zones demonstrating the potential to increase existing resources. The Lamaque project currently has an inferred and indicated gold resource of 2,335,530 metric tonnes averaging 6.91 g/t Au for 518,643 ounces ("oz.") Au and 800,799 metric tonnes averaging 6.33 g/t Au for 162,962 oz. Au respectively.
